Default Looking for some nice epiphytes

Hello, I'm pretty new here and looking for some easy to keep epiphytes to put in my dart vivs. They are well lit, but they also have areas of the tank that offer medium and low light. What are some good epiphytes to keep with them that are reasonably priced and available? Does anyone have some for sale? Gimme the low down

You gotta try Haraella odorata as it does well in shade or relatively bright conditions. Its also a small epiphytic orchid that is a reliable bloomer and is fragrant.
If your tank is cool enough you can try Masdievelias.
You can always try a Cischwenfia orchid.
There are many orchids out there that do well in vivariums, but vivariums can often have their conditions changed to suit the orchid, so basically anything can grow in them.

I understand that most will do well in vivariums. But are all safe for dart frogs?

Orchids will not hurt amphibs. I'm 99.99% sure of it.

Orchids are 100% safe. Unless maybe they climb up a tall one and fall off...

I want to try ghost orchids in my next viv. Seems like it would be the perfect spot. Anybody tried this yet?
